Every show
starts with a crowd.
Tonelook is a fan-powered network for live music — built for two kinds of moments. Go to a real show and check in with the crowd, or drop into a live Music Session from anywhere. Find a show, start a crowd, show up, scan in, and earn together — in person or online. The music finds you, and the crowd comes with you.
The Crowd Loop
Tonelook is built around one simple loop — the rhythm of being a music fan. Discover a show, start a crowd, show up, earn, and connect. It runs two ways: the in-person loop happens in the room — a venue, a QR scan at the door, real presence; the Music Session loop happens online — a synced set, a live chat, and an engagement pool that pays out by leaderboard rank. No door, no QR — just join in and take part. Same loop, two ways to live it — and every moment is worth something.
Discover
Open the map and find a real show glowing near you.
Host
Start a crowd around any event in seconds — any fan can do it.
Show Up
Get to the venue. Your presence is your ticket.
Scan
Check in together with a geofenced QR at the door.
Earn
Earn Tones for showing up and capturing the night.
Connect
Meet nearby fans and build your music crew.
Two ways to go live
Not every moment happens in a venue. Tonelook runs two different kinds of live — one you go to, one you drop into. They look similar on the map, but they work very differently.
In-Person Events
Real shows at real venues — a gig, a club night, a festival stage. You go there, scan the rotating QR at the door, and earn Tones for being physically in the room.
- ✓ Bound to a GPS location and a geofence
- ✓ Fan-hosted as a Crowd, or platform-sponsored
- ✓ Check-in requires proximity — no couch farming
- ✓ Photo Music Wall, Tonnections, and attendance rewards
Music Sessions
Virtual listening rooms you drop into from anywhere. A host plays a synced set, the chat reacts live, and an engagement pool builds from tips and reactions — paid out by leaderboard rank when the session ends.
- ✓ No venue, no GPS — join from your phone or laptop
- ✓ Synced playback, live chat, reactions, and tipping
- ✓ No door scan — engagement, not presence, drives rewards
- ✓ Leaderboard rank splits the session pool at the end
Same map, different energy. In-person events glow as venue markers you travel to; Music Sessions stream as live rooms you join instantly. The rewards are real in both — but the in-person loop is about being there, while sessions are about being part of it.

Built for music lovers. Tonelook is about the music first — discovering shows, joining the crowd, and being there. It's free, it's simple, and the rewards come from showing up.
Start a Crowd
ANY FANAny fan can start a Tonelook Crowd around a real show — a gig, a club night, a house party, a festival stage. You're the seed of the crowd, not a gatekeeper: once other fans scan in, their attendance is theirs. Drop a pin, set the basics, and your crowd glows on the map for the whole city to find.
Drop a Pin
Pick a venue on the map, add the artist, genre, and time. Your crowd appears as a glowing marker immediately.
Get Your Host QR
A unique check-in QR is generated for your crowd. Show it at the door and let people scan in.
Earn a Host Reward
You earn a one-time Tone reward the moment you start a crowd — for seeding the network.
Anyone can host. You don't need to be the artist or the venue. If you're going to a show, start the crowd so the people around you can find it and check in together.
Show Up & Scan In
LIVEThe journey isn't online — it's in the room. To keep the rewards honest, check-in is tied to where you actually are. The host displays a rotating code that confirms you're inside the venue — so only the people physically in the room can earn. No farming, no sharing from the couch.
Your presence is your ticket.
Geofenced Check-In
To claim attendance Tones, the host displays a rotating QR code that refreshes every minute — so it can't be screenshotted or forwarded. Attendees scan it to check in, and their GPS is validated against the venue.
Rotating QR + GPS
The rotating code expires every minute, and the scan only succeeds if the host's GPS confirms they're within 500m of the venue — so rewards can only be earned by people physically at the show.
One scan, one geofence. The attendee's scan of the rotating code claims their Tones, and the GPS proximity check ensures only people in the room can earn. The rotating code expires every minute — so rewards stay honest.
The Live Music Wall
Once you're in, the event opens into a live, photo-driven Music Wall. Snap a shot from the crowd, drop it on the wall, react with emojis, and feel the likes roll in. Each photo is scored on its vibe — how well it captures the live moment — and the best posts feed the engagement pool.
Post From The Crowd
Snap a photo in the app and post it to the wall. Photos are GPS-stamped to verify you're at the venue.
Vibe-Scoring
Each photo gets a 0–10 vibe score based on how well it captures the live music moment.
Climb The Leaderboard
Posts and likes push you up the live Engagement Leaderboard. Top fans take the biggest share at the end.
Tonnection
NEWThe closer you are to the moment, the more it matters. When you're standing in the same crowd as other fans — sharing the same beat — Tonelook senses that proximity and forms a Tonnection. Each one boosts your Tone Multiplier, turning the photos you post and the likes you catch into bigger rewards. It pays to be part of the crowd, not just at the venue.
Proximity Sensing
The app pings your GPS every 30 seconds. When two checked-in fans are within 15 meters, a Tonnection forms automatically.
Multiplier Boost
Each connection adds +0.1× to your vibe multiplier, capped at 2×. Three nearby friends = 1.3× boosted rewards.
Pool Amplification
Your multiplier applies to every photo vibe score and like bonus, pushing more Tones into your rank-share of the pool.
Move together, earn together. The multiplier updates live as you move through the crowd. Find your squad near the stage and every photo you post and every like you receive earns up to double — turning shared moments into shared rewards.
The Map & The Vibe
The Discover Map is a living picture of where the music is happening right now. In-person events pulse as neon markers — and the brighter they burn, the more alive the show. Every score is driven by a live vibe engine that rises with real activity and fades when the crowd goes quiet, so the map never shows you yesterday's numbers — only tonight's.
